Gretchen saw Gary then saw the flyer/or this thread thinking it might be him. |
Thanks, Ken, for clarifying that.

Sorry this is so late, it was a busy day:
Blanca,
I spoke to tallartist in Rosarito near Obrera who confirmed that she talked to Gary for 30-40 minutes at the beach, more than a week ago and
described him very accurately by height, weight, mannerisms and fitness (she said good).
Cars were not nearby so that is not confirmed, nor a surfboard or camera. They discussed surfing because she surfs as well. She has received the
flyer now and is helping to distribute that information in her circle of friends there. He did not indicate where he was headed, nor where he'd been,
but memory of the conversation was very scarce.
This is the best news yet because it confirms Gary is okay as of a week or more ago. We're optimistic now that Gary should surface at some point
soon, so thanks to everyone for keeping the word out in hopes this can be resolved soon.
Kimberly

And another note:
Blanca,
People should be advised to contact their own banks to learn how little information will be shared with their family members if they were lost or
just wanted their family to get money out for them. Gary's son is his beneficiary on his bank account, but unless you are co-owner of the account,
nothing is shared. And even then, since individuals have their own ATM cards, banks will not share the activity w/ each other card's unless by court
order.
Also, please clarify that there is no diagnosed "mental condition" -- it is Gary's behavior of not calling anyone, friends nor family at home for
such an extended period of time when he promised to call by 9/9, that has all concerned and looking for him. And, we are not being "close-mouthed" we
don't know anything more than those reading and writing the postings, and the negative speculations about us are truly unfounded.
We're encouraged by the woman Gretchen reporting she spoke to Gary for 30-40 minutes at the beach but more than a week ago. Eventually, we hope to
hear something more real time, but he can last a long time without a lot of money because he camps and surfs. Still appreciate those with helpful
words of encouragement. Rest assured, family will report one or the other back to this site once situation is felt to be resolved, in gratitude for
all the helpful suggestions.
Thanks, Blanca,
Kim

I don't understand all the negative towards this Gretchen and her Facebook page. She has two pages, personal and professional. The interpretation of
her personal page here is confusing.
She is from Kentucky...bible belt.
and Self employed...THE GOD WE FOLLOW IS A BARRIER BREAKER , A STRONGHOLD DESTROYER
Artist...pictures...lots of pictures
Works with animal rescue groups and others...more pictures
Taught in high schools...friends...lots of friends
Professional...friends
Self employed...friends
Doesn't appear to look to be a "hero"...Hey I met this guy!
and She's in Baja looking for a little latitude like the rest of us.

I don't know why some keep saying/thinking there is some big mystery, it all seems pretty clear to me.
Thanks for your help, Gretchen! And thanks to everyone else as well!

To the family of Gary Patton- At this point I'm not sure if this was actually Gary in Rosarito or not. In any event, this is what I can offer: I am a
off road traveller who is arriving in the San Quintin area next Wed. I have a new off road machine and know the area between San Jacinto ( the
shipwreck area) and Santa Maria bay( near Jardines) like the back of my hand. I will scour the entire area.
On the weekend on the 12th some friends of mine and I are traveling backroads between San Quintin and Catavina.
On the weekend of the 20th I've organized a backcountry trip that circles from San Quintin to San Felipe down to LA Bay, over to the Pacific and up
through Catavina to San Quintin.
If you have not heard directly from Gary by these dates please respond to this post on the open forum and I will gladly take extra steps to search
these areas.
My thoughts are with you and your family as you work through this difficult time.

We spent the day quad riding out at La Gringa and behind the main road towards the dump. we travelled as far as our quads would take us up washes
yesterday and we did not see the vehicle or Gary in the North Bahia de Los Angeles area. Will keep our eyes open tomorrow when we head out towards
south bay Gecko area tomorrow. Best wishes for a happy and safe return!! Connie

BajaDixon,
I imagine the entire forum will know if he has been found by the start dates of your two trips, but I have noted on our calendar to post to you by
Oct. 10th. & Oct. 18th.
Thanks for your very kind offer, and once again to the entire, amazing Bajanomad forum. Thanks, too, 24Baja.
The Patton family

Posters
If in fact that was a valid Gary sighting, someone should be putting up posters in stores, taco stands, surf spots and PEMEX stations from Playas to
Ensenada along the coast and free roads and the police stations, Cruz Rojo and hospitals in Rosarito, LaMision and Ensenada. If he is in that area he
will either see them or someone/surfers will see him.

It was mentioned that there hasn't been any recent banking activity. What could he be living on?

I just looked in the Baja Western Onion published today online.
I did not see anything re Gary. Wasn't an advertisement supposed to be placed?

They've made it clear he'd be able to live on a beach for some time to come.
I don't think they need to outwardly (and specifically) state much else.

Knowing the cost of survival down here, I have no idea what that means. Nor do they. Nothing is for nothing down here anymore.

Still missing the psycho-makeup of this man. Is he one who isolates? Or, is he one who requires interaction.
That info would be requisite in an effective search plan.
